A Black Republican and former U.S. Congressman who unsuccessfully tried to get the first African American president impeached was recovering in the hospital after his motorcycle crashed following a protest demanding the state of Texas reopen for business.

The current candidate for the State Chair for the Republican Party of Texas said he was only “alive by the grace of God” after his motorcycle collided with another following the Texas Freedom Rally, where he led a caravan of motorcycles and cars from Dallas to Austin in a protest that was held with the purposes of “securing our civil liberties, defending the constitution, and making sure Texas is open for business,” according to a press release about the event.

While Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has taken steps to re-open the state, it apparently isn’t being done as quickly as West and the other people who attended the Texas Freedom Rally.

Citing the infamous prisoner swap with the Taliban that freed U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, West called for Obama to be impeached in 2014.

West, ever the loyal Republican, was silent, however, when Donald Trump attempted to complete a prisoner swap with the Taliban just last month.
